You won't have to worry about the fletching with the drop away because it will be out of the way before the arrow reaches the rest. If you are worried, fletch your arrows so that the middle fletch moves through the opening in the prongs. That way you are almost guaranteed clearance.

RE: Help me quiet down my rest!! PICS
see thats why i dont want to put it up higher because a used to shoot this rest just standard and had my arrows fetched in the middle like your describing and always had alittle arrow kick... Now that I changed it too a drop away my bow shoots perfect and I just dont want fletching rest contact again
so basicly how much clearance does my drop away give me?? If I put that rubber pad under the rest it takes away from that clearance

Matthews, here is a pic I just took. I don't have a good cam and it is foggy but you get the point. I put the mole skin in small 1/2 inch wide strips around the prongs, and then just double up on the mole skin on the riser so when the drop-away falls it quietly strikes.

Put it on and try it out , what do you have to lose ? if it doesn't work for you to get clearance than just take it off
Let us know how your making out with it if it solves your problem

Perhaps your talking the Simms rubber pad? I'd highly recommend it if your not happy with the felt/moleskin.
Your rest should clearly be out of the way of your fletch or perhaps your not tuned properly. I can't imagine it being a problem unless your arrow is too low on the string/berger holes.

I just changed my Mathews rest into a drop away... when i shoot an arrow metal to metal sounds and is loud... I bought some stick on fabric to go under neath it but is still really loud...
any suggestions?? What does other people do?... theres a rubber pad i found at the archery store but I'm afraid that it would not let my rest go all the way down
Thanks

That's what i have on my Mathews conv.11 rest is the pad underneath.Then go to the hardware or autoparts store and get some shrink wrap tubing for your prongs. I put up a pic if you look you can see the little rubber pad.It came with it.
